Travelers flock to Nagoya for its culinary delights, including the renowned kishimen noodle shop, Sumiyoshi. This popular stand-and-eat kishimen joint can be found on the Shinkansen platform at Nagoya Station, although it often draws long lines. However, there are other Sumiyoshi branches nearby that offer a better experience.
Firstly, these alternative branches are less crowded, especially on weekdays. The Shinkansen platform location, as expected, had a line during our weekday visit, while the non-Shinkansen Line 5/6 platform branch welcomed us without any waiting.
Secondly, these other Sumiyoshi branches offer a special dish called the One-coin Kishimen. Priced at 500 yen (approximately $3.15), this bargain includes a full-sized serving of kishimen noodles along with tempura shrimp, aburaage, katsuobushi, and green onions. Despite the additional toppings, the price remains low as the quality and preparation remain consistent across all Sumiyoshi branches.
One staff member confirmed that all Sumiyoshi locations prepare their noodles in the same way, and the staff's claim was validated by the delicious taste of the One-coin Kishimen. This affordable option is available at Sumiyoshi on the Line 5/6, 1/2, and 3/4 platforms. Complement your meal with Krispy Kreme Japan's unique donuts, which are exclusive to Nagoya.
